Paulina Francisco
Soprano
Paulina Francisco is rising as an engaging and versatile performer of Baroque and early Classical music. Recent reviews have celebrated her as a soprano of “agility, impact, and vibrant projection” (ClassyKey) who “preserves a finesse of del-ivery allowing one to savor the ornamentation and agility of the tunes” (Olyrix).
Paulina is a winner of the 11th edition of Les Jardin des Voix with Les Arts Florissants, with whom she toured Purcell’s The Fairy Queen, staged by Mourad Merzouki. Other highlights of her 2023–24 season included the premiere of Doug Balliett’s St. Marc Passion with Les Arts Florissants, singing the titles roles in modern premieres of Mouret’s Les Fetes de Thalie (Opera Lafayette) and Eccles’ Semele (Amer-ican Baroque Opera Company), and a solo recital of music by early modern women on the Washington Bach Consort Chamber Series.
